BF2 Patching

[Kylee!]

Whenever I try to install 1.41 it just tells me "can't find install folder."

:|:

I am running Win7 if that has anything to do with it.

Re: BF2 Patching

Are you using the incremental, or the full patch?

there is no incremental for 1.41, only the full patch.

maybe try right click on patch and run as administrator?

Re: BF2 Patching

Or you can try incremental, i.e. install from a patched version.

I was assuming you were on 1.4
But if you reinstall, download 1.12 or something (to see if other patches are recognised).

If so, install 1.12 then 1.41

If that still doesn't work you will need to reinstall because your BF2 registry might have been corrupted.

I was on 1.0, ha, just installed.

But I just reinstalled it. =|

Re: BF2 Patching

Does it let you try and find the install folder?

Re: BF2 Patching

I don't think it does.

Most patching programs rely on the registry to work out the folder of installation. This was done for the 'ease' of the consumer...

No, it just tells me it can't find it.

Re: BF2 Patching

Check the registry to see if the InstallDir is correct
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2
or for 64bit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Electronic Arts\EA Games\Battlefield 2
Might be somewhere else in Win7.

Ahah, this may be the problem. There is no InstallDir. :|:

EDIT: Hm, that seems to have fixed it. Thanks Natt. :wee:

Re: BF2 Patching

I knew it was a registry issue. Didn't know how to fix it
